I understand both your reasons, but to be honest people who hop guilds or members that leave without telling anyone can be annoying. Of course, there may be some flaming from it, but if it bothers you report them, then put them on ignore.

/signed unless someone can show me this feature was used more for flaming then for keeping the guild roster updated.

If it's brought back, it's simply something you'll have to be aware of when joining a guild in the event that you leave it.

But I would prefer if only officers could see it. Someone mentioned it could be bad for morale, and I think they might be right.

That's a very good point. I'd like it so only the leader or the leader and officers can see the Status tab. I'd also like to see a way to keep track of who transfers faction points to the guild.

i sign this because it was a interesting way to see who left. If its somebody who left in a day a guild hopper or if they left after a while u can ask why

/signed provided that's part of the deal as I'm not being funny but sometimes theres a valid reason why someone leaves and some Guild Leaders are sometimes that reason

It would be bad for morale if you joined a guild and saw 3/4 of the members all leave on the same day due to the leader and officers being a complete bunch of prats - not mentioning any names or Guilds here but you know who you are

Even though I usually notice anyway, 'cause we have such a small guild.

Clobimon · Nov 03, 2006, 04:58 PM // 16:58

Typically the ones that leave my guild are 'short-timers' of a week or less. I always figure they are guild hoppers that are just looking for the right fit. I and the officers usually don't even think of contacting them. Joining our guild doesn't constitute some binding contract. It's the long term members that we would pm. Luckily we just had one while it listed them. He gave a reasonable answer, did his own thing for a month without us bothering him and has since returned. Anyway, when the member roster one day says 94 and the next it says 91, we'd like to KNOW who left and can at least ask the remaining members if they know why "XX Y Z" left. The way it is now we ask "does anyone know who left the guild" and it's always answered with "no clue."

The benefits far outweigh any problems.

Mammoth · Nov 03, 2006, 05:52 PM // 17:52

One of the problems this feature introduced was the potential to cause a chain reaction of members leaving (one leaves, the some more see it and feel they should go etc.), I remember reading about how after it was added, some people had many members just up and leave simply because of the message being there. There may be more depth to it I'm not aware of though... This is mostly speculation on an old topic..

Perhaps only allowing the message to be viewable by the Leader and Officers would work, or just make it an option for the guild leader to enable/disable..

Its useful but only viewable by leader and officers is a good idea.......

/Signed.
It makes the admin of guilds, websites and forums a whole lot easier. If leavers get harrased then report the harasser, simple.

In the mean time forum admins scratch their heads everytime the roster goes down in number..

Sooty · Nov 05, 2006, 12:14 PM // 12:14

/signed. It's a very useful feature to have for running a guild.

Was this change intentional though? It's not in the updates page.

The Pointless · Nov 05, 2006, 12:19 PM // 12:19

/signed and /stamped (just of the hell of it)

I hate frantically trying to work out who left. In fact I hate the fact that they leave without warning!

/signed, only for officers and leader though, to prevent bad morale.
